The SENSEable City Lab at MIT is launching a green technology project, titled Trash Track. It focuses on the development and development of a large number of active low energy tags for locating garbage. The tags will be used to track the movement of various types of waste products on their way to final disposal. The data collected will be analyzed and displayed to the public at an exhibition in September 2009 at the North Gallery of the Architectural League of New York City on Madison Avenue. Following the exhibition, long term analysis of the data will focus on studying the dispersion of trash and the efficiency of waste management in the city.
